We are proud to announce that Xandrea McNeill earned 4th place at the Regional Science Olympiad Competition in the Water Quality event!
The Water Quality event challenges students to apply their knowledge of aquatic ecosystems, chemistry, and environmental science to analyze water systems. Competitors demonstrate understanding of water pollution, treatment processes, bioindicators, watershed dynamics, and water quality testing. The event requires strong content knowledge and critical thinking as students interpret data, identify organisms, and propose solutions to real-world environmental issues.
Placing 4th at the regional level is a tremendous accomplishment, reflecting dedication, teamwork, and commitment to scientific excellence. We are incredibly proud of all our team members hard work and the way they represented our school.
Congratulations to our outstanding competitors!
